What Wandsworth Council announced

In a statement dated 5 October 2026, Wandsworth Council said the regeneration of the Peabody estate at St John's Hill, Clapham Junction, has been completed. The third and final phase delivered 307 homes, and the three phases together provide 658 new homes. The council says the scheme includes affordable and social rent homes, a new community centre, extra-care housing, a public square and commercial space. It took 14 years from planning permission to completion, and the first two phases were finished by 2023. The council’s own summary line speaks of ‘more than 600 homes’, and the Leader’s quote of ‘almost 600’; the 658 figure is the statement’s count across three phases.

The final phase: One Clapham Junction

Mount Anvil, the development partner, published a news item dated 8 August 2022 on the launch of the final phase, One Clapham Junction: 307 one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, describing it as the last phase of the transformation of a 1930s Peabody estate in south west London. The 307 figure in the 2022 launch matches the council's figure for the completed phase. The council statement quotes Councillor Robert Morritt, who said the borough is one of London's most attractive locations for investment, and carries comments from Simon Barry of Peabody and Darragh Hurley of Mount Anvil on the work of the partners.

Why it mattersFor a Kuwaiti buyer, the useful lesson is the timeline. Large London regeneration schemes are slow: this one took 14 years from planning permission to the last home, and the council itself describes the borough as one of London's most attractive places for investment. A completed neighbourhood with a public square, commercial space and a community centre is a different thing from a promise on a brochure, and it is worth knowing how long such places take to settle. Two cautions from us. The council statement gives no prices, no rents and no sales figures, so nothing here says what these homes are worth. And Al Mithaq does not sell this scheme; we report it because it shows how Wandsworth, the borough around Clapham Junction and Battersea, is changing around the buyers who ask us about London. Our view: when you compare a London off-plan project, ask for the planned completion date of every phase, not only the first.

What Al Mithaq adds

This is not a scheme we sell. If you are considering London, our London guide sets out the six steps to buying, the costs and the developments we do offer, from £335,000. Ask our team to put the completion date of every phase of any project you are considering next to the price; we answer from Kuwait the same day.
